I do. I'm worried that him and Bannan were featured too early though
Mario Balotelli will have both his family names on his Italy shirt at Euro 2012. Uefa's official tournament list shows that the 21-year-old forward has registered 'Barwuah Balotelli' as his shirt name.
That's pretty cool I guess. I suppose he's just tempting the local bigots to say something at this point. Maybe he will go Ron Artest style and choke someone in the stands. That would probably be more exciting than the actual tourney......
Cutscenes are the new load screens!

We feel you Clegg.
Wait until Ireland play Italy.
It will be anti football central.
Yurt will hang himself in shame and I'll be rendered catatonic.
Shut up you smell
They flip a coin!
I suppose it's part of the agreement between the two teams. In this case Verratti is likely to stay at Pescara for another season - they just made it back to Serie A, Pescara is his hometown - and come to Juve next season / once Pescara has been paid in full. It's a pretty perverse formula. *onlyinitaly.jpg*

Nobody in the middle of the park. Both teams in their boxes waiting for advancement.
Pirlo shouldn't even bother showing up.
He's too good for the farce that the game will inevitably become.
Nice to see that everyone is overjoyed with excitement leading into Euros. 
Are you Fifa players looking forward to those Kinect features this fall? Cursing at the tv after the AI beats your offsides trap with a perfectly weighted through-ball should be amazing, right? Right?!

I don't curse nearly as much at the PC as I do at the fuckers in public games with my Virtual Pro. "PASS THE FUCKING BALL YOU ASSSSHOOOOLLLLEEE!!"

A screen capture. looks and sounds pretty amazing. I can't wait to wear this while I'm cheering them on in Chicago!!!!!
I can't explain how excited I am for that game in July!!!!!
It's a better name to be fair, it's just fucking stupid.
Where's this from hahaha?!

Where is the best place to sit? Since there probably won't be an away section for Aston Villa in a pre-season friendly in Chicago. I'm thinking midfield, and I'll probably spend to sit right up against the pitch. I now need to buy my girlfriend a kit (she'll look gorgeous in claret and blue) and need to figure out a way to meet all of the players.
Whats going on at Spurs?
They were being heavily tipped to sign Vertonghen but its all gone a bit quiet on that front. They missed out on CL qualification by the skin of their teeth so I expected them to make some signings.
Is Harry going to leave things until the last day of the window again?

Wait, there is an Aston Villa supporters section!!!
There will be.
Don't sit right at the front either, it's shit. You want to be about half way up, either behind a goal on in a corner so you can always see the whole pitch.
I can't wait to see how this will look on his shirt.
He has regressed this past season. Maybe under a new manager he can improve but his cross was lacking and his tackling/marking was horrific. He has a knack of giving the ball away and the otehr team scoring.
Maybe he can improve under Lambert but I think the only way that may happen is if he knows his place isn't guaranteed and we get some good competition in there.

Depends what kind of view you want. To really see the game at it's best you want to be sitting bang on the half way line, a few rows up. That way you get to see the whole game clearly and can see the movements and tactics at play as well as the skill of individual players.
However as this is your first game and only a pre-season game I would aim to be as close to the pitch as possible so you can be as close to the players. It's very cool to see them up close in the flesh and you'll appreciate just how amazingly skilled professional players are.
I remember seeing Zidane up close, it was an almost religious experience.

Great, thanks for the info.
Here is the stadium with the supporters sections highlighted in blue.
Should I go for section 130, or 133? I'm leaning towards 130 (and in front of section 129 is the Away dugout)
Do it. Take a risk, life is exciting.
I'd probably go 130.
Is there a difference?!

Sky: Juve and Pescara headed towards a co-ownership deal for Verratti. 5mil for half (3,5M cash + half of Giandonato, one of our youths).
Marotta is the supreme master of the co-ownership formula.
All hail Marotta! Our midfield for the next 5 years is set.
I'm okay with half of Giandonato going the other way. It means Verratti is basically ours and we can take back Giandonato if want him when if/when he gets better. Hopefully this well help us keep really close relationship with Pescara. They bring a lot of amazing youth through their ranks.
Advertising campaign called it 'cidre', so no.
Go for the lolly! Let us know how it is
Opened one and lots of froth came out. Pretty much fellated the bottle, and it was horrible. Tasted way stronger than usual. Will leave them to defrost. probably ruined
Hixx knows what's up.

Is there nowhere you guys can buy local cider? If you're in the UK and you're buying shite like Strongbow, you're doing cider wrong. Exception: Kopparberg pear cider.

Its Muse.
I'm not very hopeful.
Their last album was garbage and now they appear to be going wubstep.
Hopefully that will only play a small part in the new record. I still think it will be a carcrash though.
Gaymers original is a good cheap cider. Actually tastes like apples and has a nice aftertaste, not just fizzy chemical infused shite.

I love how the internet has decided it's going to be a dubstep album :lol
It sounds more gritty and aggressive than the Resistance, I'd bet there won't be more than 2 minutes of 'dubstep' in the whole album!
Edit: Yeah fair enough Hixx, it's not half bad!
